Megaman Legends: The Lariozan Connection
Chapter Two: Miraculous Landing
Now regaining what little she could get of her composure, Roll calmly stirred the Flutter to shore, while Megaman was on the lookout for airships or planes with a star on a vertical blue-and-red disc surrounded by a yellow ring-the Lariozan Air Force roundel. Meanwhile, Barrell, having stabilized the engine enough for a smooth landing, was on the bridge with them. Everyone was hoping that the landing would at least be smoother than three years ago in Kattelox, where the rudder and tail was flung out.
All of a sudden, Megaman shouted, "I could see a big city on the tip of the island! I also see the air pad over there!"
Roll asked, "How about airships? Planes? Anyone appraching?"
"Yeah, I see them. Two headed this way." As he said this, a face appeared on the external communications system, or excom, that they had beside the steering wheel. It was one of the two dispatch planes' pilots.
"Alto! Tú es traspasar en la espacio aérea Lariozana!" , the pilot boomed in commanding Spanish, followed by an English translation with the same commanding manner. "You are trespassing on Lariozan airspace! We order you to identify yourselves immediately!"
Barrell said to the pilot, "We're Althirians, and our ship is running out of energy. Please let us land in the air pad."
The pilot immediately pressed a button, leading them to another screen, this time at a control center. After some delay a mustachioed man in olive drab uniform and gold shoulder boards appeared on screen.
"This is the Minister of Defense General Rodrigo Moran. What are you doing here in our country? You know very well there are problems going on here!" he said in an authoritative but calm manner.
"We ran out of energy, and we need to land to get our energy reloaded! This is urgent!" Barrell said in reply.
Gen. Moran was aghast, but at the same time his face was showing doubt. " I don't know, señor, we have enough problems here, and a family of Althirians here in San Gabriel could add up to them."
Suddenly, Megaman got to the excom and interrupted him, blurting out, "Look, Mr. Minister, if you think having us is a problem, how about having our bodies floating in your waters? Surely you wouldn't care if that happens, would you?"
The defense minister was even more aghast. "Okay! You may land! Bueno, I'll have the pad readied for you, as well as an escort," he said in a fatalistic manner.
With that reply, they inwardly celebrated, but they knew that if they were to land, they needed to pay attention to details, and nobody knew more about this than Roll. So, she steered the Flutter to the direction of the pad (which was, mercifully, near the seacoast) and decelerated the ship slowly and lowered its altitude.
"Almost there. you can do it. go on, girl," she muttered to herself as the Flutter approached one of the support posts in the pad.
"Oh no, the energy gauge's almost empty!", Megaman said with a tone not far from panic.
"Not to worry. Almost got her," Roll replied, not allowing herself to be distracted by the energy gauge, the wailing siren, the red lights flashing. Then all of a sudden, silence. The lights turned off, the sirens mute, the occupants still. They heard a snap on the fore, on the aft and under the hull.
Roll, wiping the sweat from her brow broke the silence with three words: "We made it!"
